I am walking and all but have yet to have any gas pains. Did they start right away shy?

I had one Jello and one twenty ounce bottle of Water. whats helping me is the pain meds and sleepping in my new leather rocker my hubby got me.

No I haven't experienced them because I'm doing everything to prevent the pain. Walking and drinking the mint tea. I'm burping alot- actually it's coming out both ends. Are u having this experience?

Where does all the gas come from? I know they blow up our abdomens during the surgery, but that went away, along with the shoulder pain that was totally excrutiating... Now, if I try to drink any of the allowed Clear Liquids, I feel like all that gas comes right back and my entire abdomen is about to explode. I can't even drink 4 oz of Water.

4 days post op and wondering if I made a big mistake :(

The first few days after surgery, when I'd drink my stomach would feel very bloated and I had tummy gas that I couldn't seem to expel. It will pass! Sip very slowly and try hot liquids instead of cold. Ice cold Water just seemed to make my gas worse.

Be patient with yourself. You will be healing for the next 6 weeks. Life with the band will not be like this forever. :)

Your stomach is still swelling from surgery. I also felt like I might have made a big mistake at first also I could hardly get 8oz of liquid down in a day for probably 2-3 weeks. And I was use to always drinking. I carried a drink with me at all times before surgery. Still I don't drink as much as before. Now I worry about getting enough fluids in. We will all adjust over time.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
